Legislators study lottery trends
By BETH COPELAND
Staff writer
Now that Kansans have overwhelmingly approved the implementation of a lottery, the state will soon join 17 others in an industry that could someday have cable television and personal computer betting.
State Sen. Edward Reilly, R-Leavenworth, one of several legislators who drafted the initial resolution, said the state Department of Revenue was researching ways to implement the lottery.
The rough draft then goes to the Federal and State Affairs Committee, of which Reilly is chairman, and the committee will make its recommendations to the Legislature.
Reilly said that although planning was in the embryonic stage, the state of development is good.
A national magazine looked even further into the future of the lottery.
Public Gaming magazine, "the professional magazine of North America and provincial lotteries," asked lottery directors in several
states to predict future trends. The remarks were published in the July and August issues.
Charles Buri, executive director of the Arizona Lottery, said in the magazine that technology would bring lotteries into the home by the year 2000.
"I don't think the day is too far off when we are going to sit at home and purchase our lottery products via TV or personal computer." he said.
California's lottery director, M. Mark Michalko, said in the magazine that he thought sports betting was the wave of the future.
"Whether it is football or baseball or whatever, it will expand the role of the lottery and take away many of dollars from illegal games," he said.
Reilly said the committee would take future innovations of the lottery into account when making its recommendations to the Legislature.
"We'll be looking at the most advanced technology when we give our
recommendations," Reilly said. "We will consider every aspect that may affect the future."
The lottery, which will be enacted under guidelines of the Kansas Legislature, is expected to raise between $30 and $40 million for state coffers.
Video lottery, an innovation already in effect in Nebraska, has increased revenues dramatically for both the state and the promoters, according to the magazine.
In video lottery, "vending machines" with computer screens and keyboards are installed where players can bet on one, two or three games.
Bellevue, Neb., for example, had a deficit of $500,000 in 1984, the year video lottery was introduced. One year later it had a surplus of $2 million. Over a 12-month period, the video lottery grossed $44 million, and gross revenue at each terminal averaged between $3,500 and $4,000 each work.
